Jasidut sobre Deuteronómio 31:21

1. This is the aspect of (Megillah 3) "the priests in their service and the Leviim in their duchan (platform) and Israel in their midst". The essence of the Tikun of the sacrifice, by which he searches and clarifies the good point from among the waste, the aspect of animalism, is by the Priest, the man of Chesed. Because by tipping the scales to Chesed and judging to the side of merit, because of this one finds good points in all the lower rungs, and this is the aspect of the sacrifices, as explained above. Therefore, all of the Tikunei of the sacrifices are accomplished through the Kohen, the man of Chesed. He is the aspect of Avraham, as it is written (Psalms 110:4) "You are a priest forever" , as explained above. By this melodies are formed, as explained above. This is the aspect of the Leviim on their platforms, who conducted songs on the duchan (platform) while the sacrifices were offered. By the aspect of the sacrifice which is brought by the Kohen, the man of Chesed, this is the aspect of clarification and finding good by tipping the scales to Chesed, by creating melodies, as explained above. And 'Israel in their midst' who were learning Torah, this is the aspect of speech, by which there were able to elevate good to speech, which is the essence of its elevation, as explained above. Therefore the people of the watch would read the portion of Breisheet (Taanit 26a) and the portion of Ha'azinu, because the acts of Creation are the essence of the clarification of the goodness, in the aspect of "In His goodness, He renews each and every day the acts of Creation" (Weekly Morning Prayers). And this is the aspect of "For it is good" which He said on each of the six days of Creation". Before the Tikun of the acts of Creation, as it says (Genesis 1:2) "the earth being unformed and void and darkness" , this is the aspect of the strengthening of the evil that covers the good, and the Tikun [for this] is through the aspect of (Id.) "and a wind from God sweeping [over the water]". This is the spirit of Mashiach, which is the aspect of 'goodness'. Because all of the good points that are found within each and every Jew, this is the aspect of the shining of Mashiach; the essence of goodness is Mashiach, the aspect of Moshe, in the aspect of (Ruth 3:13) "Then in the morning, if he will act as a redeemer, good! let him redeem".. By the aspect of "the spirit of G-d", the spirit of goodness, the aspect of the spirit of Mashiach, by this is the essence of the subsistence and building of the world. Because of this - because of the good points that are found in the midst of "unformed and void" - (Genesis 1:3) And G-d said 'Let there be light'; and there was light". And therefore, (Id.) "G-d separated the light from the darkness". etc. By the good point one truly enters to the side of merit, and then the light is redeemed and the darkness is separated and removed from the light, the evil from the good, etc., as explained above. We find, that the essence of the Creation of the World is through finding and clarifying the good point, as explained above. And this is the aspect of (see the introduction to the tikkunim) "the color of the mishkan is the color of the works of creation"; because the Mishkan is also from the aspect of goodness that is clarified, etc, as explained above. This is what the people of the watch were involved with; they used to stand by the sacrifices with the 'acts of creation', because the sacrifice is the aspect of the 'act of creation', which is the aspect of clarification of the goodness etc as explained above. Therefore the sacrifices were brought in the Mishkan or Holy Temple, because the Mishkan and the Holy Temple were also built by the 'clarification of goodness', etc as explained above. This is the aspect of (Deuteronomy 3:25) "that good hill country" which was said of the Holy Temple. This is the aspect of the portion of Ha'azinu which the people of the watch read. Because the portion of Ha'azinu is the song that Moshe Rabbeinu promised, that by this song the Torah will not be forgotten, as it is written (Deuteronomy 31:21) "this poem shall confront them" etc. Even in absolute concealment, the aspect of (Deuteronomy 31:18) "Yet I will keep My countenance hidden" this song will be a witness, because the song hints that even if Israel is very far from Hashem Yisbarach in absolute concealment, even so they are close to Him, may He be blessed. Because He has yet found within them, even the lowliest, good points, as explained above. This is the aspect of (Deuteronomy 32:9) "For the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob" etc. he found [us] in the desert. Even in the desert and the unformed void 'the LORD’s portion is His people'. In other words, the aspect of the good points, which are the aspect of 'the LORD’s portion is His people' etc. Therefore, they read the portion of Ha'azinu by the sacrifices, as explained above. By this the portion of Ha'azinu is called 'a song', as it is written, 'then this poem', etc. From the good points, as explained above, that are found in the desert and the unformed void, etc., as explained above, from this a melody and song are formed, as explained above. After the recitation of the passages of sacrifices and incense, which are the aspect of 'clarification and finding good points even in the lowest rungs', as explained above, after this we recite Pesukei d'Zimrah, because of the good points, as explained above, melodies ae formed, the aspect of 'I will sing [praises] to my G-d in my midst'. Specifically, 'I will sing', as explained above. This is the aspect of Pesukei d'Zimrah. which are the aspect of the songs and melodies that are formed through the clarification and finding of the good points that are in the lowest levels, as explained above. Therefore we say in the middle of Pesukei d'Zimrah the verse 'I will sing [praises] to my G-d in my midst', as seen above and explained above.
